Probably.  I was referring to the wage structure. It was fine for the league we were in, not so good for the league we will be in next season.

Our wage bill will have gone up without any signings through the door as the lads who had  relegation wage reduction clauses in their contracts will see their wages return to their original level, Waggot confirmed this in the telegraph a couple of weeks ago

Do we not have a years option on Graham we can trigger if needed. 

Yeah but on the same deal he signed with us when he joined.

In telegraph few weeks back that we are trying to negotiate on lesser terms.

Disagree with the posters who say Graham is finished and wouldn't mind him not re-signing only have to look at his performances 2nd half of season to know that's nonsense.Yeah we won't get a full 90 out of him and will probably not have the legs to start every game but imo we should be doing what we can to get him signed up for next season

We dont know what offers have been made to any players do we? 

Mowbray keeps it out of media and doesnt link owt. 

Agreed so suggesting that McGeough will be our first signing has nothing behind it 

Just now, chaddyrovers said:

The LT also said they no plans to appoint a CEO. then week or 2 later Steve Waggott was appointed. 

Yeah but nothing really been said about McGeough to Rovers in recent weeks.Nixon also tweeted that McGeough was looked at but Mowbray wasn't overly keen.Im aware Nixon saying that means he will probably join but still there has been nothing concrete that we have actually made an offer to McGeough

I thought it said in Telegraph that Mowbray wasn't interested in McGeuoch?

Just now, chaddyrovers said:

Yes it did Stuart. We are now engaged. Very happy and great weekend there. Nothing is going kill my mood today

Congratulations on the engagement...but Mowbray has just resigned

I can't post pics but it is from twitter but it's Wigan's captian replying to his tweet about scoring for the u23s saying buzzing to have you have next season big man and then telling a Wigan fan yes Armstrong said he wants to come here 

Just read the tweets.Morsy is clearly joking if you read the conversation and tweets, Armstrong doesn't even reply.

Looks like Adam Armstrong might be Joining Wigan 

Genuine source or are you quoting some bellend on Twitter claiming to be itk?

Just now, Oldgregg86 said:

He was good at Everton and if he's of the same standard now I'd have him in a heartbeat. That was a few seasons back though

Probably just Twitter nonsense to be fair doesn't really fit the type Mowbray suggested we would be looking to recruit

But Heckingbottom wasn't a poor choice tho. He done excellent at Barnsley. 

Watford and Chelsea might will have successful but look at other clubs who havent like Swansea, Leeds, Birmingham, etc. 

I believe in given a manager a proper chance and time. You appoint a manager for a reason so why backtrack so quickly. Unless it was a mess and you are in bottom 3 and manager who record is awful or things are well behind the scenes like De Boer at Palace or Coyle here or Coleman/Grayson at Sunderland. 

Leeds hire and fire policies over the last few years have achieve nothing but disappointment and failure to make the playoffs. 

I have nothing against foriegn managers at all but I prefer an British manager. I know if Mowbray was to leave tomorrow I know who my 3 choices shortlist would be. No foriegn manager would be on that list. Just for record I hope Mowbray doesnt anywhere for a number of years to come

Who's your shortlist?

John Terry released at Aston Villa, not one for me trusting TM's not interested

Close to joining Lampard at Derby according to the papers

There was nothing to suggest during King's time here he'd be significantly better up front. When he played wide for us he couldn't hit the proverbial cow's backside with a banjo.The FA Cup games were right towards the end of his time here and he'd obviously made up his mind to move by then.

Maybe Howe shouldn't have moved him from up top but many players would get their heads down and do a job wherever they were asked to play. King obviously isn't one of those type of players

He might have only had 1 outstanding season but he has been premier league quality since he joined Bournemouth. 

The majority of the times King played as a front man we looked a better side imo.

I don't blame Bowyer tho as he had to.play Rhodes and Gestede was undroppable at time.

IMO a Gestede king partnership playing all season would have destroyed the championship

A lot of talk here about a nothing rumour.Readinf that forum most of em are taking piss out of the guy claiming to be itk. Johnson let Williams go when he was manager why would he want him back

I can’t see Bruce sticking around  if there’s no money to spend! It might be the end of Villa’s long superiority of their rivals too... wonder where I’ve seen that before?

Odds on Villa going down?

Although villa will cut spending and have to sell they will still have a decent budget if they don't get sanctioned.

They have assets,they could end up selling Grealish for 30 million,they could get 10 for kodja and there are others in their squad that they could get decent fees for.

For me Bruce has done his best work when he hasn't had fortunes to spend,he did good at Wigan and Hull without huge budgets 

A few on here suggesting Sunderland's Paddy McNair well Brighton have had a 2 mill bid rejected. So doubt we will be in for him

Antonsson future

http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/16256558.Marcus_Antonsson_s_agent_discusses_ex-Rovers_loanees_future/?ref=mac

Really can't believe he is on 16k a week.

Thanks Marcus for your contribution but I really hope we won't be bringing him back.Not suited to the English game imo would be better off playing in a slower paced league.

Ipswich turned Lampard down, so I'd be very worried as a Derby fan if that one goes through. 

Was it not Lampard pulling out of talks with Ipswich as they wouldn't pay him enough?Sure I read that somewhere buy it could have just been paper rubbish

It doesnt matter how much we spend as long they are quality signings. 

I trust Mowbray to make the right signings  

 

So it doesn't matter if Mowbray has a pound to spend or a 100 million?

Of course it matters how much we have to spend...much more likely to bring in quality with money than shopping in the bargain bin

Just now, JHRover said:

The London factor - he isn't going to Palace, West Ham, Arsenal, Spurs or Chelsea in the near future. QPR, Millwall, Brentford are smaller clubs with as tight if not tighter finances. Where else in the SE to attract him?

If Fulham don't go up and lose Cairney and Sessegnon that will have a few bob to spend  and will be in the market for attacking players.

Think Dack will be here at least until January in my opinion though

Firstly, im very chill out and relax. Looking forward to the start of the season and Mowbray's signings. 

What stuff have you got right? Please list these. 

 

Do you think that maybe the reason we haven't heard anything from Mowbray since he got back from India is because he is considering his future due to the Venkys telling him he has no money to spend?

Colin Hendry but I wouldn't go for Hoilett

I would add Henning Berg good in both his spells.Excellent player

Nuttall for one.

Is Nuttall that good though?I'm asking your opinion as iv not seen enough of him to make a judgement.

In the few games I seen for the senior team with him involved I wasn't that impressed but not really fair for me to judge him on that. 

Has he looked like someone who deserves to be involved with the seniors from the u23 games you attended?
